Before: This is a young, healthy and athletic woman with a 13 year history of varicose veins since pregnancy. Conservative therapy of compression hose, elevation, pain medication and exercise did not improve symptoms. These consisted of pain especially on prolonged standing, heaviness, aching, leg cramps and itching. After: Endovenous laser therapy was performed on the greater saphenous vein and then multiple microphlebectomies to remove with the surface varicose veins. The procedure was one in the office under local anesthesia. This patient was able to resume most normal activities within two days and able to exercise normally after a week or so. This picture was taken 6 months after the procedure. Smaller veins will be injected at a later time.

Before: Skin breakdown in not uncommon in vein disease of many years. This man had suffered with large varicose veins and multiple small ulcers around his ankles for many years. Although compression stockings slowed down the process, the sores would not heal. He was unable to go through orthopedic knee surgery he needed due to the presence of chronic venous insufficiency and the poor healing associated with it. After: This picture was taken four months after the Endovenous Laser procedure. He also underwent many Microphlebectomies to remove very large, bulging varicose veins. Note that the ankle is now slimmer with his ankle bones visible and that the small ulcers are healed. His skin condition continues to improve.
